This research aimed to analyse the effect of biochar as a filtering layer in the transfer mechanisms of Sulfadiazine (SDZ), an antibiotic found in urban surface waters of the Recife Metropolitan Region (RMR). Laboratory tests of kinetics and sorption isotherms of SDZ with biochar were conducted in batch conditions. Additionally dynamic adsorption analyse was performed on sand column experiments and breakthrough curves were established. The results suggest that the biochar significantly improves the SDZ sorption rates. The experimental data were best fitted through a pseudo-second-order model, and a markable dependency was observed for the loading capacity of the biochar with the experimental condition of the sorption test, as the loading value without batch (41%) was below the obtained in the batch trials (53%). The simulations also showed that the Convection Dispersion Equation (CDE) and the two site sorption models best fit the observed data, indicating no chemical equilibrium.
